Sarah and Podlipnik: Doing LU from snv_70b to b113/b114 is a long shot. Many things had changed.
1. In snv_90 and onward, the compression of the install images is now unzipped with the 7zip utility. If you are liveupgrade from nevada builds before snv_79, you must install the SUNWp7zip package from the latest Nevada build before you can do live upgrade. If you do not install SUNWp7zip, the live upgrade will not work at all.
